[Las Vegas Raiders]

Don’t be fooled by close game that progress is being made

Remember when Thursday night games were awful?

Now you do.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos turned back the clock and proceeded to put together one of, if not, the worst NFL games of the season in a game that rudely reminded us of the early days of Thursday night slates.

The Broncos are the better team, thus they were able to overcome their major mistakes as the beat the floundering Raiders 10-7 on Thursday night.

The Raiders are now 2-7 and have lost nine straight AFC West games. They are awful under first-season coach Pete Carroll and Thursday night was a prime example that this team is mot making progress.

Sure, some may say a three-point road loss to an 8-2 team that won its seventh straight game was a good showing. It wasn’t.

The Broncos killed themselves on offense. But they saved themselves on defense.

the Raiders were their usual bumbling selves. Here’s a cute rundown of their follies:

An interception on a lazy play by first-round pick Ashton Jeanty, a blocked punt inside their own 20, a penalty negated touchdown, a game-tying missed field goal in the final five minutes.

The Raiders are just a bad team. They weren’t going to beat a better team like that.

Oh and check this out. Both teams had 10 first downs and 11 penalties. That’s first time since 1976 when the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks were featured in a game with both teams have more penalties than first downs.

Utter ugliness to start Week 10.

Here are some key aspects of this disaster:

Injuries pile up:

Both guards, Jackson Powers-Johnson and Dylan Parham left the game in the second quarter with ankle injuries. After the game, Carroll indicated that Powers-Johnson will miss some time. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he ends up on the injured reserve. Remember, left tackle Kolton Miller has been on the injured reserve for more than a month. Quarterback Geno Smith suffered a quad contusion and he left the game some in the fourth quarter. He returned but he was limping badly. Still, Carroll thinks he will be fine moving forward.

Offensive woes:

Remember, when the Raiders got fans excited four days ago when they scored a season-high 29 points? That was fun. It was back to the same old thing under offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. This was the fourth time in nine games that the Raiders scored 10 or less points this season. Star tight end Brock Bowers had just one catch for 31 yards after having 12 on Sunday. Jeanty had another rough running out as he had 60 yards on 189 carries. He has averaged less than four yards per carry in seven of nine games. The Raiders had seven straight drives that they didn’t get a first down, spanning 28-plus minutes. Plus, Smith was sacked six times. Just a brutal night for the offense. Again.

Tough day for rookie receivers:

Rookie wide receivers Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton were on the field for the first play in the Raiders’ first game after trading Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thornton didn’t play last week. Both Bech and Thornton negated big plays with penalties, including a touchdown. Thornton also had a big drop. Thornton had one catch for four yards and Bech didn’t have any. These two players have room to grow, but they’re clearly not ready. The Raiders were led by by 22-year-old Tyler Lockett’s five catches on 44 yards. The point is, if Bowers isn’t involved, the Raiders have an anemic receiving attack.

Oh, special teams:

It’s been a rough season for the Raiders on special teams and it was more of the same Thursday night. Yes, punter A.J. Cole didn’t his thing, pinning the Broncos inside their 1 twice, but there was another blocked punt that setup the game-winning field goal. Then, Raiders’ kicker Daniel Carlson missed a 48-yard field goal with 4:26 that would have tied the game. The Broncos killed the game from there. Carlson has five missed kicks (PATs and field goals) this season. He is a free agent and the Raiders could let him walk.

Blu Kelly makes case:

Rookie Darien Porter started in front of Kyu Blu Kelly for the second straight game. But Blu Kelly had both of the Raiders; interceptions, so he is fighting for playing time.

Another good defensive start:

The Raiders’ defense forced yet another three-and-out on their first drive of the game. The Raiders also forced a three-and-out on Denver’s first four drives. The last time they did that was in 2016 against the Broncos. The Broncos got their first first down with 5:50 to go in the first half Thursday night.

Message to Chip Kelly

There was a lot to be alarmed about in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 10-7 loss at the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.

The offense was brutal as it failed to score more than 10 points for the fourth time, went seven straight possessions without a first down and make several critical mistakes.

But what stands out as the most disturbing aspect of the offense was the lack of Brock Bowers in the offense. That’s on offensive coordinator Chip Kelly not the superstar tight end.

Check this out:

Brock Bowers' targets last night for #Raiders:
6:29 left in 1st: incompletion on 1st and 10
15:00 left in 2nd: incompletion on 2nd and 12
11:20 left in 2nd: 31-yard completion on 2nd and 9

Bowers had 0 targets on Raiders final 34 offensive plays last night

— Josh Dubow (@JoshDubowAP) November 7, 2025

It’s inexcusable that was targeted that few times. He is a generational player and was coming off a 12-catch game as he finally return to full health. If the Raiders’ don’t direct their offense around Bowers, they will not have a consistent chance to win.

Their other receiving weapons just don’t strike fear in opponents, especially after this week’s trade of Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Thursday night, the Raiders’ leading receiver was 33-year-old Tyler Lockett, who had five catches for 44 yards in his second game as a Raider. Opposing teams will allow the Raiders to nickel and dime them with a few Lockett plays if it means Bowers is being taken out.

It’s painfully obvious that rookies Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton are not ready to be factors. The Raiders must be a Bowers-first offense. And if Kelly can’t make that happen, the offensive misery will get worse before it gets better.

Pete Carroll fires Tom McMahon

There are starting to be consequences for the las Vegas Raiders’ poor start to the 2024 season under first-year head coach Pete Carroll.

The team has fired special teams coach Tom McMahon according to several reports. NFL media was the first to report it.

The #Raiders have fired Special Teams Coordinator Tom McMahon, per me and @TomPelissero.

A significant move after last night’s loss. McMahon and coach Pete Carroll had words on the sidelines. pic.twitter.com/BlBIx8iwKi

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 7, 2025

The Raiders’ special teams has been dreadful this season.

Their 10-7 loss at Denver on Thursday night was helped fueled by a blocked punt that setup the game-winning field goal and a missed Daniel Carlson field goal with less than five minutes to go. The Raiders have allowed four blocked punts in the past two season, the most in the NFL. Carlson has five missed kicks this season.

McMahon was in his fourth season with the Raiders. He was first hired by Josh McDaniels and was retained both both Antonio Pierce and Carroll.

The Raiders have Derius Swinton and Kade Rannings as assistant special teams coaches. The Raiders announced Swinton will take on the interim role for the rest of the season in a statement by Carroll.

This in-season moves shows there are some clear issues on the coaching staff as the Raiders’ sit at 2-7. It would not be a surprise if Carroll makes more changes to the staff, especially in the offseason if he returns as the 20-26 head coach.

This move continues a long trend of Raiders’ in-season firing.

#Raiders have changed head coach, coordinator or GM during the season in:
2025: ST coordinator Tom McMahon
2024: OC Luke Getsy
2023: HC Josh McDaniels, OC Mick Lombardi
2022: none
2021: HC Jon Gruden
2020: DC Paul Guenther
2019: none
2018: GM Reggie McKenzie

Tom McMahon first of many Raiders’ dominos to fall?

Tom McMahon simply had to go.

Special teams used to be a traditional strength of the Silver & Black — immune from suffering that ailed the offense and defense. But McMahon’s unit wilted under the primetime lights with another blocked punt and a missed field goal.

Good on Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll for sacking the special teams coordinator after stinker another stinker of a performance.

“Earlier today, we made the tough decision to relieve Tom McMahon of his duties as special teams coordinator,” Carroll said in a statement posted on the Raiders official website Friday. “I have a great amount of respect for Tom and the work that he has done in this league, but we have decided to move in a different direction. Derius Swinton II will assume special teams coordinator duties on an interim basis and we are excited to attack the second half of this season with outstanding intent and purpose. We are grateful for Tom and his work here with the Raiders and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

McMahon arrived as special teams boss by former Raiders head man Josh McDaniels back in 2022 and inherited a kicking battery of kicker Daniel Carlson (a 2021 All Pro second-team selection) and punter AJ Cole III (a 2021 All Pro first-team selection and pro bowler). He’s a holdover of both McDaniels and then Antonio Pierce who succeeded the former. And Carroll decided to keep McMahon in place. The results of that decision are horrific for Las Vegas in 2025.

Carlson’s field goal percentage has waned since 2022 going from 91.9 percent to 86.7, 85.0, and currently 75.0 percent. At 12 of 16 on the year — his potential Week 4 game-winning field goal against the Chicago Bears was blocked — Carlson’s percentage currently is the second lowest with a 19 of 26 season in 2019 (73.1) being his worst. Cole, meanwhile, is having a down 2025 campaign with a 47.6 yards per punt average. He’s also suffered two blocked punts so far this year (tied for most in the NFL) and had two in 2024. No other team can approach that kind of ineptitude protecting their punter.

McMahon was brought in on Josh McDaniels’ staff in 2022 and remained with Antonio Pierce and Pete Carroll. #Raiders allowed their 4th blocked punt in last 2 seasons last night. No other team has more than 2 in that span https://t.co/IclzXLlM1l

— Josh Dubow (@JoshDubowAP) November 7, 2025

And that’s just the boot specialists under McMahon’s charge. Las Vegas’ punt and kick return coverage units are topsy turvy with the team getting torched on a 90-yard house call on a punt against the Washington Commanders in Week 3. Then, in Week 5, the Raiders were fortunate a holding call wiped out a kick return touchdown by the Indianapolis Colts. Not to mention the poor angles, lane discipline, and tackling ability (or lack thereof), the operation was a mess under McMahon and he had to go.

Suffice it to say but, the bar is set low for interim special teams boss Derius Swinton II.

And McMahon’s dismissal is likely one of many Raiders’ dominos to fall if Carroll remains head honcho this offseason. The 74-year-old coaching veteran perhaps will make additional changes to his crew beyond the in-season canning of McMahon.

But this brings me to another item: I can understand why Raider Nation is already in draft mode. The Raiders are 2-7 overall and have a disconcerting point differential of negative 81 points (scoring 139 total points while allowing 220). Also, the team’s remaining schedule is meek in terms of potential victories with likely the Week 12 clash with the incoming Cleveland Browns the lone contest of the remaining eight where the Raiders may be favored (stressing the “may”). So the “tank” talk is already present with fans hoping the team continues to stack losses to get a top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

But I keep asking myself this question: Can Carroll and his coaching staff be trusted to develop future prospects and current players?

“This isn’t gonna be forever. Guys that have been around, that wouldn’t have happened to. We’ll overcome that. If they don’t, they won’t get better and they won’t be here. But they’ll improve on those things.”

Raiders Coach Pete Carroll speaks on errors by rookies Ashton Jeanty,… pic.twitter.com/3lzoLx8UA6

— Vegas Sports Today (@VegasSportsTD) November 7, 2025

The Year 1 results so far in 2025 — from both the rookie and incumbent players perspective — are abysmal and contributes aplenty to the Raiders season so far. The way Carroll and his coaching staff put second-year offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson (starting at center, then moving to right guard and competing with veteran Alex Cappa), to the development and usage of 2025 draft picks Jack Bech (second-round wide receiver), Darien Porter (third-round cornerback), Dont’e Thornton Jr. (fourth-round wideout), and to an extent Ashton Jeanty (running back and sixth overall selection) don’t inspire much.

Then there’s third-round offensive linemen Caleb Rogers and Charles Grant and fourth-round defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway and sixth-round defensive tackle JJ Pegues who can’t get active and play.

And who can forget how quickly the Raiders moved on from sixth-round pick Tommy Mellott. Granted, the ultra-athletic Montana State product was moving from quarterback to wide receiver in the NFL, but with his measurables (5-foot-11 and 4.39 speed) it seemed he’d be a practice squad rookie — at worst. Instead, he was waived on cutdown day and eventually signed with the New Orleans Saints.

“I have a lot of respect for Tommy, and there was a lot of hard decisions that we made the last couple of days. Ultimately, our responsibility, coach (Carroll) and myself, is to put the best 53, and then 17 after that, to get ready to win football games,” Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek said of Mellott a day after cut day. “There’s always a development part of that, too. But there’s a reality, sometimes, that who is most ready, and who is furthest along and who can help this team win the most. Ultimately, we made some decisions that didn’t include him, for now.”

Mellott isn’t currently on an NFL roster which gives the Raiders some leeway in the decision. But pulling the plug so quickly and not even eyeing long-term development and projection is troubling. Despite what Carroll said about competing right away and winning a lot of games in Year 1.

If Carroll does remain this offseason and beyond, more dominos need to fall and a coaching staff assembled to get the most return on investment (ROI) on the resources Las Vegas uses on building the roster. Whether that be draft selections, free agent additions, or players brought in via trade.

Our Bill Williamson put it best:

Tom McMahon's unit stunk, but he is not the reason why this is team doesn't have a winning record. Team-wide issues that start at top. Utterly ridiculous to believe otherwise. #Raiders

Jeremy Chinn flies all over field against Broncos

Defense was far from the issue in the Las Vegas Raiders’ Week 10 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. One of the Raiders’ best players on that side of the ball during the contest was safety Jeremy Chinn.

Not only did Chinn lead the team with nine total tackles, but he also made several high-quality plays by racking up three ‘defensive stops’ or tackles that resulted in a failure for the offense, according to Pro Football Focus. The safety had an especially impressive night in coverage, allowing just two catches on four targets for two yards to lead Las Vegas’ defense with a season-high 80.7 coverage grade.

With that, let’s flip on the tape and break down the veteran’s performance.

Nice read by Jeremy Chinn to defeat the TE's block and force RB out of bounds for no gain #Raiders pic.twitter.com/oEwnkTvNrW

— Matt Holder (@MHolder95) November 7, 2025

Chinn made a handful of good plays against screens on Thursday night. Here, he’s quick to read and recognize the play design, immediately moving toward the sideline post-snap. That allows him to beat Adam Trautman’s block, who is a blocking tight end lined up at slot receiver. Additionally, the safety uses his hands to take on the tight end’s block, making it easy to escape and force the running back out of bounds for no gain.

That showcases some impressive instincts, which was a common theme for Chinn in Denver.

Broncos get called for OPI because Chinn jumps the screen, so Nix tries to hit the backside slant but a good play-call by Graham to have Tyree Wilson drop in coverage takes away the slant #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/7oastnfxDN

— Matt Holder (@MHolder95) November 7, 2025

The Broncos get flagged for offensive pass interference here, which is a combination of a heads-up play by Chinn and a good play call by defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.

Denver is trying to get the ball out of Bo Nix’s hands quickly by running a halfback screen to the wide side of the field and a backside slant on the boundary. However, Chinn recognizes the running back motioning into the swing route and splits the two slot receivers to jump the screen.

Since the running back is taken away by the unblocked defender, Nix holds onto the ball and works to the other side of the field. But Graham calls a three-man rush where edge-defender Tyree Wilson drops in coverage to take away the slant. So, the quarterback has no choice but to scramble and throw the ball away, leading to flags coming out because the wideouts on the wide side of the field are blocking for the screen.

Broncos call a trick play designed to hit the RB down the field, but Jeremy Chinn stays home to take it away, leading to the sack #Raiders pic.twitter.com/c7KuvBtRTp

— Matt Holder (@MHolder95) November 7, 2025

This time, Denver tries a trick play where they throw a backwards pass to their No. 1 wide receiver Courtland Sutton and have the offensive line sell the screen. Also, the single receiver at the top of the clip above runs a dig route to influence the defense/secondary toward the three receiver side of the formation or toward the fake screen. That’s set up for the running back to be wide open on a wheel route for an explosive play or touchdown.

However, Chinn isn’t fooled, stays home and picks up the running back to carry the back down the field. As a result, the trick play is neutralized, and Sutton has no one to throw to, creating a coverage sack for Charles Snowden.

Nice rep by Jonah Laulu and Jeremy Chinn, defeating their blocks to combine for a tackle for a short gain #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/w32mhmRtxF

— Matt Holder (@MHolder95) November 7, 2025

While the six-year pro stood out the most in coverage, he also made a few quality plays as a run defender.

Denver is backed up in its own end and runs power, but the front side of Las Vegas’ defense does a good job of plugging up the gaps. So, running back J.K. Dobbins tries to cut backside. However, defensive tackle Jonah Laulu and Chinn do great jobs of taking on their blocks with their hands and defeating the blocks to escape and combine to make a tackle for a short gain.

Iso, Elandon Roberts creates a stalemate with the FB in the hole, forcing Dobbins to cut backside and into Jeremy Chinn, who does a good job of avoid the trash to make the play #Raiders pic.twitter.com/bA9y4HAmaf

— Matt Holder (@MHolder95) November 7, 2025

This time, the Broncos run iso, where the fullback and linebacker Elandon Roberts meet in the C-gap. Roberts does his job by creating a stalemate at the line of scrimmage, while cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly shows color in the hole, which gets Dobbins to cut backside.

Meanwhile, Chinn comes downhill but shows patience to avoid getting caught in the trash. So, when Laulu ends up on the ground, the left guard doesn’t have a clear path to the second level and the safety can easily defeat the block by using his hands and mirroring the running back. As a result, Chinn makes the tackle right at the line of scrimmage, primarily by being a smart football player.

---

While this season has been a frustrating/disappointing one for the Raiders, Chinn has been a solid starter for the defense, and Thursday night was arguably his best performance of the year.

Jakobi Meyers finishes as Jaguars’ leading receiver in team debut

While the Las Vegas Raiders dropped their Thursday Night Football contest against the Denver Broncos and had a mini bye over the weekend, let’s check in on how Week 10 treated a few former Raiders: Jakobi Meyers, Davante Adams and Robert Spillane.

Jakobi Meyers​

• Game result: 29-36 Jaguars lose
• Stats: 3 catches, 41 yards

We’ll get things started with the newest former Raider, as Meyers was traded on Tuesday and was Jacksonville’s leading receiver on Sunday while Brian Thomas Jr. was out and Travis Hunter remains on injured reserve. Granted, the Jags only threw for about 160 yards, and this was a tough game for them, blowing a 29-10 lead in the fourth quarter. On another note, Meyers also shared a message to his former teammates: “Shoutout to my boys in Vegas. It’s going to turn around. Y’all boys keep playing hard. I love y’all boys, I miss y’all boys.”

Gets hit before the ball gets there and Jakobi Meyers still makes the catch even with his eyes closed.
Exactly what Trevor needs. pic.twitter.com/v4smlaVAEr

— Fitz (@LaurieFitzptrck) November 9, 2025

Davante Adams​

• Game result: 42-26 Rams win
• Stats: 6 catches, 77 yards, 1 TD

The Rams scored on their opening possession and pretty much waltzed their way to a win over the division-rival 49ers, with Adams’ contributions going a long way as the team’s leading receiver. That puts some distance between Los Angeles (7-2) and San Francisco (6-4) in the NFC West and wild card standings, on top of allowing the team to keep pace with the Seattle Seahawks (7-2) for first place. Also, we’re continuing to monitor his career touchdowns, and another score puts him ahead of Tony Gonzalez for eighth place and just four behind Antonio Gates for seventh.

DAVANTE ADAMS IS A RED-ZONE LEGEND. pic.twitter.com/MAsMXmRcvq

— Rams Tapes (@RamsTapes) November 9, 2025

Robert Spillane​

• Game result: 28-23 Patriots win
• Stats: 9 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 PD

This was a massive win for the Patriots. Not only did they take down a quality opponent in the Buccaneers, but New England also increased its lead in the AFC East to a game and a half above Buffalo with the Bills’ loss on Sunday. Additionally, Indianapolis lost, which means the Colts, Patriots and Broncos all sit at 8-2 with the No. 1 seed in the division on each team’s minds. Spillane was a big factor in this one as the team’s second-leading tackler.

[Las Vegas Raiders]

Caleb Rogers time may be coming soon

The Raiders lost right guard Jackson Powers-Johnson to injury vs the Broncos during Thursday nights 10-7 loss.

He is reportedly going on injured reserve and could miss the rest of the season an ankle injury, which could indicate there’s a chance the 2nd year lineman from Oregon doesn’t return this season with their only being 8 games remaining in the season. Las Vegas will likely see Alex Cappa, who signed a 2 year contract worth 11.5 million in the off-season step into the role for Powers-Johnson as he’s done at times this season. This season the 30 year old Cappa has logged 189 snaps and allowed 2 sacks and 14 pressures along with being flagged twice. In Cappa’s two starts this season in place for the injured Powers-Johnson he allowed 11 pressures, 3 hits, and a sack through a little under 90 pass block attempts while also allowing just 2.1 ypc as a lead blocker.

Jackson Powers-Johnson…what could've been…

The one player I really wanted the #Vikings to find a way to pry away from the #Raiders at the trade deadline pic.twitter.com/J3RfgEAxeT

— Jordan Silveira (@JordanTSilveira) November 7, 2025

In addition to Powers-Johnson injury, left guard Dylan Parham suffered what Pete Carroll described as a high ankle sprain. Carroll, stated that Parham attempted to go back into the game after suffering the injury but couldn’t push off from his ankle and thus was held out. High ankle sprains usually have a 3-4 or more week recovery timeline, including the one suffered by Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller back in week four which has still held him out after Miller was allowing just 4 pressures through 152 pass block attempts. Parham has had his ups and downs this season as he looks for a contract this off-season where he’s allowed 3 sacks and 18 pressures along with 3 penalties. Parham has seen his fair share of ups and downs in his career struggling at times but he’s remained a consistent run blocker including a 4.1 ypc lead blocking this season. In replacement of Parham came 2024 UDFA Will Putnam, who outside of 3 snaps this season in clean up duty has never taken a snap at LG since his sophomore year of college. Likewise, Putnam did struggle allowing a sack and 4 pressures with just 1.7 ypc as a lead blocker while also posting a 0.0 PFF pass blocking grade (if you value that). Putnam was notably beat off the line quickly in a snap resulting in a 3rd down sack for Geno Smith, one of six the Broncos logged. Putnam could earn the opportunity to start in place of Parham going forward, however third round rookie Caleb Rogers is the ideal pick to replace him.

Rogers was drafted 98th overall in April and the 24 year old hasn’t taken a snap this season for the Raiders as he’s been buried on the depth chart. After an alright preseason which saw him allow a hit and 3 pressures on 76 pass block attempts (all at LG) he’s been inactive for the entire regular season. Seemingly, the Raiders drafted Rogers to be a potential replacement at guard for Dylan Parham after this season, given the injury sustained to Parham it would make sense for the Raiders to see what they have in their third round rookie instead of playing Putnam out of position again. The Raiders sit at 2-7, the goal for the remainder of the season goes beyond striving to win each week and boils down to seeing what the youth on the roster can do going forward. While unlikely, there’s the possibility the Raiders shift Jordan Meredith to LG and let Putnam man center.

Get to know kicker Greg Joseph

The Las Vegas Raiders signed kicker Greg Joseph to the practice squad this week. Let’s take a look at Joseph:

Size:

6-0, 208 pounds.

NFL experience:|

Joseph has kicked for seven teams since entering the NFL in 2018 His longest stint with one team is when he kicked for the Minnesota Vikings from 2021-23. He last kicked for the New York Jets during the 2024 season, a season in which he was with five different programs. While he has kicked for seven teams, Joseph has been part of 13 different programs, now including the Raiders. He was last with the San Francisco 49ers, who cut him in August.

College:

Joseph went to Florida Atlantic. He signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2018.

How will he fit in with the Raiders?

Joseph was likely signed to give the Raiders insurance if they feel like they need to move on from kicker Daniel Carlson. he has suddenly struggled this season, missing five kicks.

Las Vegas Raiders at midseason

The Las Vegas Raiders are heading into the back half of the season (the 17-game schedule messes with the math) at 2-7. Let’s take a quick review of the first half and what it means for the final half of the season.

Quick summary of the first half:

It’s been pretty disappointing. Pete Carroll was brought to Las Vegas for his experience and bring competition. But this team is arguably worse than last season’s team that caused Antonio Pierce to go one and done. The Raiders are just mistake filled on a weekly basis.

Offensive MVP:

Brock Bowers. Even thought he missed three games and wasn’t healthy most of the first half. It’s been a rough season for the offense, but when given the chance. Bowers has shown he is an elite tight end. The Raiders must feed him as much as possible in the second half of the season.

Defensive MVP:

Maxx Crosby. The seven-year star pass-rusher keepings is his dominant self. He has five sacks and a whopping 13 tackles for loss. Maxx isn’t the problem.

Rookie of the first half:

Ashton Jeanty. It hasn’t been the completely dynamic and dominant start to his career that many expected from the No. 6 overall drat pick. But he’s been, by far, the Raiders’ best rookie and he’s had his moments even though he’s averaged less than four yards per carry in seven of nine games. He does have seven touchdowns already. He’s one of the Raiders’ least concerns.

Best surprise:

The defense. It’s had some bad days, but also they’ve kept Las Vegas in some games as well.

Worst surprise:

The Carroll-Geno Smith tandem has been a disaster. There was excitement when Carroll was hired and that grew when he traded for quarterback Geno Smith. The two had success together in Seattle. But both have been miserable in their roles all season long. That was not what the organization and fan base signed up for.

Bold prediction for next quarter:

The Raiders’ next four opponents are at home against the (Dallas Cowboys 3-5-1), at home against the Cleveland Browns (2-7), at the Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) and home against the Denver Broncos (8-2). They are playing two straight games against bad team. If the season is not going to be a total embarrassment, they must take advantage. Still, I’d see the Raiders winning once in the next quarter and go into the final quarter with a 3-10 record.

Maxx Crosby’s DOPY odds drop

As long as Maxx Crosby is in his prime, he will go into every NFL season as a favorite to win the Defensive Player of the Year award.

That was the case in 2025 for Crosby, who turned 28 in August.

Crosby has turned in another solid start to the season. However, because of a lack of his sack numbers and the Raiders’ poor 2-7 start, Crosby is no longer considered a favorite to win the award.

According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, Crosby’s odds to win the Defensive Player of the Year Award to 80-1. He was price around 15-1 to to start the season. There are currently 13 played with lower (better) odds than Crosby to win the award. Cleveland’s Myles Garrett is the fav0rite to win at +180.

One of these years it’s going to happen for Crosby.

Las Vegas Raiders get good news about Geno Smith, Dylan Parham on injury report

The Las Vegas Raiders held their first practice of the week on Thursday, preparing for their Week 11 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Subsequently, the Raiders also released their first injury report ahead of the matchup with the Cowboys, and got good news when it comes to quarterback Geno Smith and guard Dylan Parham.

Smith suffered a quad injury last Thursday versus the Denver Broncos, and told ESPN’s Ryan McFadden: “I’m not completely healed yet, but it feels a lot better.” Despite those comments, the quarterback wasn’t listed on the injury report, suggesting he was a full participant in practice. In a similar situation, Parham (ankle) also got banged up in Denver and was listed as a full participant.

So, it sounds like the mini bye week was just what the Raiders needed, and Parham being healthy is especially significant since the offense will already be down one starting guard with Jackson Powers-Johnson landing on injured reserve earlier this week. Rookie Caleb Rogers is expected to replace Powers-Johnson, with Alex Cappa and Will Putnam serving as backups/other options.

Additionally, Las Vegas only had one player sit out of Thursday’s practice session: rookie linebacker/special teamer Cody Lindenberg with an Achilles. Wide Receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was also listed but was a limited participant.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys also had a few players return to the field this week. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and rookie cornerback Shavon Revel have yet to play this season after suffering significant knee injuries a year ago. However, Overshown and Revel were activated recently and were full participants in practice.

Safety Malik Hooker (toe) and defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey (back) were designated to return and had their 21-day practice windows open, but have not officially been activated. Hooker was limited while Winfrey was a full participant on Thursday. On top of that, starting guard Tyler Smith (knee) and starting defensive end Dante Fowler (shoulder) were limited.

Las Vegas Raiders coach Pete Carrol expects consistency from the offense

The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense has struggled this season, to say the least. With high expectations to start the season, the offense flashed its potential in Week 1. Since that game, their explosiveness came to a screeching halt and now average 14 [points per game which is 31st in the NFL.

Their next matchup is against a Dallas Cowboys defense that is off to a rough start. The Cowboys are 31st in points allowed, averaging 30.8 per game, and it will be a test for the Raiders to get their offense going.

Pete Carroll spoke about the upcoming matchup on Thursday and said what he wanted to see from the offense. What he pointed out was consistency after such a disappointing start.

“Two weeks ago we were gaga over the performance that we had and Brock’s return and all of that…unfortunately we come back this past week…and we couldn’t get going on them…but I’m expecting us to get better and more consistent.”

Many fans would say the Raiders need to target Bowers as well, who had only two catches last week. It should be a game where the Silver and Black move the football and score points. If they don’t, changes could be made to the coaching staff once again.

Brock Bowers’ lack of targets; catches inexcusable

No matter what Chip Kelly is cooking up for his Las Vegas Raiders offense this coming Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, tight end Brock Bowers better be a main ingredient.

Because three targets resulting in one reception for 31 yards for 22-year-old phenom in the Thursday night 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 10 is a gross misallocation of valuable resources.

Granted, Denver does own the NFL’s third-ranked defense — in terms of points and yards allowed — and the sixth-ranked pass defense — in terms of yards yielded. And the whipping wind in Mile High as quite an obstacle.

“We were trying. We were trying all night long. The calls were going that way, the ball just didn’t get there,” Las Vegas head coach Pete Carroll said regarding Bowers during his postgame press conference after the loss to Denver. “We didn’t try and disguise it and not go there. We had calls one after another. They did a nice job getting guys on him.”

Raiders starting quarterback Geno Smith expanded on that when it was his time at the postgame podium.
“There’s heavy emphasis on Brock. Obviously when you go out there last week and have three touchdowns and have the performance he had, guys are going to see that on film and do whatever they can to stop him,” Smith explained. “We still have to find ways to get him the ball. We have to move him around and put him in a position where he can just go 1-on-1, but teams are going to double. They had a plan for him, and other guys had an opportunity to step up and that’s what they did.”

I mean, if you want to call five receptions for 44 yards by 33-year-old recently-signed veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett a step-up opportunity. It could be called a myriad of other things, though. With Bowers contained by Vance Joseph’s Broncos defense, Lockett paced the Raiders pass catchers while wideout Tre Tucker hauled in two passes for 28 yards and tight end Michael Mayer caught three passes for 22 yards. Rookie Dont’e Thornton Jr. accounted for one reception for four yards, but also did his best James Jett impression on a deep ball — where he had the defender beat — only to drop the pass from Smith.

Hence why Bowers getting stonewalled for only one reception is egregious.

Raiders are 2-2 when the defense giving up 20 points or less and the offense scored 7 and 9 points in those losses.

He has a point. https://t.co/6AA1EMm5Iw

— Marcus Johnson (@TheMarcJohnNFL) November 12, 2025

Despite a valiant effort from Las Vegas’ defense — Denver was limited to 220 total yards and was forced to go 5 of 15 on third down attempts — the offense spinning its wheels and Daniel Carlson whiffing on game-tying 48-yard field goal scuttled the Raiders’ hopes.

At 2-7 overall and boasting the the 31st ranked offense (points allowed 139)); 30th in terms of yards gained (2,454)), it’s easy to figure out why a defender like defensive tackle Adam Butler is frustrated, as seen in the tweet above. The Raiders defense has been walloped too, but the group holds the 20th ranking in terms of points allowed (220) and 15th in yards yielded (2,887).

But here the Silver & Black are with another primetime opportunity, this time under the Monday night lights inside Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders host the Cowboys (3-5-1), a team that boasts an offense and defense on completely opposite spectrums. And this provides a legitimate test for Butler and Patrick Graham’s Las Vegas defense while boding well for Kelly and his quicksand offense.

Dallas walks into Monday’s tilt boasting the fourth-ranked offense both in points scored (263) and yards gained (3,406), however, Matt Eberflus’ defense is worse — gasp! — than Las Vegas ranking 31st out of 32 teams in both points allowed (277) and yards yielded (3,577).

If there’s a game to get Bowers back to his dominate self, it’s Monday night against Dallas. And it’ll be up to Kelly and Smith, respectively, to dial up the play calls and distribute the ball to No. 89.

Is Chip Kelly coaching for his job? Another stinker on a prime time game would certainly rile up Mark Davis pic.twitter.com/JHCDx43YQb

— Ted Nguyen (@FB_FilmAnalysis) November 12, 2025

The Cowboys did well to bolster their struggling defense by landing former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson and New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams via trade before the deadline. The new additions should help reinforce the 28th-ranked run defense in Dallas.

And with Williams slated to anchor the middle with Kenny Clark and the Raiders missing powerful guard Jackson Powers-Johnson (injured reserve), there’s potential for more pressure up the middle to get after Smith. Smith was sacked six times in the Week 10 loss in Denver.

But it’ll be up to Kelly to counter whatever Eberflus throws the Raiders’ way.

A great way to test Dallas’ Swiss cheese defense is to move Bowers all across the formation and get him the ball quickly early and often. Whether it’s 12 personnel or featuring the spectacular tight end in the traditional slot wide receiver role, Bowers has the route running, size, and speed to beat man and zone coverages. Full route tree on maximum overdrive, basically.

Go back to what worked against the Jaguars who tried to deploy a variety of coverages only to get smoked for 127 yards and three touchdowns on 12 Bowers receptions. And, if you’re going to dial up a tight end jet sweep/end around, execute that better, will ya?

Hell, if Kelly is known to habitually run similar concepts game in, game out, why not go back to the Jaguars script?

And for the well-compensated Raiders offensive coordinator who has shown only fleeting moments of creativity, another primetime dud isn’t likely to bode well for Kelly’s future in Las Vegas. Despite owner Mark Davis noting he’s exercising patience with this new regime.

Las Vegas Raiders-Dallas Cowboys predictions

It’s Saturday and time for our weekly tradition of predictions this week’s Las Vegas Raiders’ game

While the Raiders are having a rough season at 2-7 and riding an 8-1 record predicting their games. Next up is the Dallas Cowboys at home Monday night.

The Cowboys aren’t doing much better than Las Vegas as they return from their bye at 3-5-1.

This is an interesting matchup of two well-rested teams (Dallas has 14 days off and the Raiders 11). The Raiders can’t score and the Dallas can’t stop anyone on defense. The Raiders have scored 10 points or less four times and Dallas has allowed, at least, 30 points five times.

Something will have to give. I guess I think Dallas’ offense can be the difference.

Predictions: Cowboys 28, Raiders 20.

Now, it’s your turn.

Las Vegas Raiders fans lose confidence before Week 11

The Las Vegas Raiders are getting ready for their Monday Night showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. It will be in front of the home crowd, but based on the team’s record, it could be mostly Cowboys fans.

Chip Kelly and the Raiders offense will hope to bounce back after another bad performance. It was the third game of the season in which they scored seven points or fewer, and they are currently 31st in points per game. If they can’t move the ball, it will be pressure on a defense that is facing one of the most explosive offenses in the league.

In this week’s SB Nation Reacts, we ask Raider Nation what their confidence is in the team’s direction. Heading into the Monday Night matchup confidence from the fans has dropped. It went down from 16% to 10% for Week 11.

Hopefully, the Raiders offense can come to life against an opponent who doesn’t match up well with Brock Bowers. If they can find a way to feed him the rock, it could lead to a big game for the Raiders overall.

Las Vegas Raiders’ Pete Caroll expects Kolton Miller to return

The Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line has struggled for most of the season. It has started to leak into the passing game with the absence of Kolton Miller. His replacement is Stone Forsythe, who has allowed 14 pressures and a pass-blocking efficiency of 94.8.

Miler has been on IR since week 4 of the 2025 season. While the team’s record suggests that the Raiders will decide to keep him off the field head coach Pete Carroll had a different tone. During his press conference Saturday Carroll was asked about the status of Kolton Miller. He expects a return of Kolton Miller off IR before the end of the year.

“Yeah. Yeah, I do. He’s getting around okay, and everything’s pointing towards that. Yeah”

Miller returning to close out the year might seem like a waste, but it tells fans that the Raiders are attempting to win games down the stretch. While it may be too little, too late, the offense at full strength should hopefully improve an offense that is averaging 14.8 points per game. They will need all the help they can get to return to the form Raider Nation saw in Week 1.

Las Vegas Raiders are close to flipping turnover, takeaway margin

Just four games into the 2025 campaign, the Las Vegas Raiders dug themselves into quite the turnover-takeaway hole at 10 giveaways while taking the ball away from the opposition just four meager times.

In that timeframe, there were three- and four-turnover outings in Week 2 and Week 4 losses to the Los Angeles Chargers (20-9) and Chicago Bears (25-24), respectively.

Since then, however, the Raiders staunched the bleeding.

That turnover/takeaway ratio now sits at 14-10, thanks in large part to single-digit giveaways since Week 5. While the Silver & Black’s overall record is still basura at 2-7 overall, quelling costly turnovers — especially for a Las Vegas squad that has to play perfect or close to it due to inconsistency and ineffectiveness, as evidenced by scoring less than 10 points four times this year — keeping possession while creating sudden change with takeaways is mission critical for the back half of the season.

Just last week, cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly’s pair of interceptions off quarterback Bo Nix helped the Raiders stonewall the Denver Broncos offense, and although the end result was a 10-7 road loss, it showed how competitive and how sweaty the Silver & Black can render the opposition. A tale as old as time, really: The team that doesn’t cough up the ball while taking it away from the opponent tends to win ballgames.

“It’s great. Again, youth, experience, it’s how they perform on Sundays and Thursdays and this week, Monday. It’s how they perform. So again, whether they’re a rookie or 10-year vet, it’s how you perform ,” Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham said when asked about Kelly’s two interceptions and how encouraging it is to see younger players starting to develop. “And these guys, for their whole lives, they’ve seized the opportunity in different stages of their career. I was happy to see him go get the ball and seize the moment, and then to get two that was pretty impressive.

“But we have a tough task ahead of us with Dallas, really good quarterback, one of the best in the league. Skill group’s outstanding. So, every week is a reset. Luckily, we get a few extra days this week.”

Kelly is one of two Las Vegas defenders with multiple takeaways as safety Isaiah Pola-Mao also has two interceptions on the season. Linebacker Devin White has an interception and forced fumble that was recovered by a teammate. And edge rusher Maxx Crosby also has a pick. Defensive tackles Thomas Booker and Adam Butler each have a fumble recovery as does defensive end Tyree Wilson.

Graham made it abundantly clear what he wants to see from his defense from here on in: “Again, Sunday, want the wins than losses, and that’s the most important thing,” he said. “I’m real proud of the process in terms of how those guys went through the week. And they saw some success out there on the field. We just got to win. That’s what we got to do. We got to do whatever it takes to win. So, that’s where we’re at.”

Offensively, Geno Smith remains the biggest turnover culprit with 12 interceptions on the season. Heading into Sunday’s action, that was second only behind Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa who has 13. The two AFC signal callers have flip flopped for most interceptions thrown throughout the year.

We'll take that.

— Denver Broncos (@Broncos) November 7, 2025

While Smith won’t admit it, it’s difficult not to see the veteran seem gun shy after so many sudden-change possessions after his interceptions. And that’s resulted in holding the ball too long, throwing it too early, and that’s led to sacks and incompletions. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly knows missteps in execution and play calling has hindered the Silver & Black.

“We’re talking about eliminating a drop, talking about eliminating a penalty, we’re talking about holding up better in protection, being able to get the ball out a little bit quicker. And it’s a fine line in this game, and we’re three plays away from whatever, I don’t know what our record is now, you’re a five win team and you’re battling,” Kelly explained. “We missed two field goals and a two point conversion, but the game is that close. Every week is a battle. That’s the beauty of the league, and the competitive nature of the league, is you can’t make those mistakes and expect that you’re going to be successful. So, we got to continue to correct them, and we got to be able to make sure that it’s the defense that’s stopping us; it’s not us stopping us.”

Flipping the turnover-takeaway ration goes a long way in what Kelly and the Raiders want to happen.

Quotes of Note​

“So a lot of it, as we talk to our team about, is just not the self inflicted wounds. The defense is going to make plays. These defenses in this league are really, really good, but it’s the penalties, it’s the drops, it’s the turnovers that really hurt you on the offensive side of the ball, and those are things that we have to clean up. And that’s on us, that’s nothing that we can say, ‘Hey, they did a good job’ If we don’t get our hands where they’re supposed to be and they’re outside the framework of the body and you’re corralling somebody, then they’re going to call a hold. Or do we line up in the right formations? All those things are things that right now, because of some of the injuries and where we are and you’re really kind of thin, we can’t afford to hurt ourselves. And that’s, I think, in a lot of those drive situations, that’s what’s been happening to us.”

—Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly when about his offense being held to under 10 points four times this season and why it’s hard for the team to score.

“Again, not trying to be a jerk or anything. All I care about is winning. All those dudes care about is winning. Win. So, am I proud how they did sudden change? Yes. Am I proud when they made stops? Yes. But to a man, and again, you all can ask them, and if I’m wrong, I’m wrong, all they care about is winning. That’s it. Just got to win.”

—Las Vegas Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham when asked how satisfying is it to see his defense step up against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos the last two weeks.

Head-to-head​

Monday night’s clash marks the 14th time the Raiders and Cowboys go toe-to-toe. The Silver & Black lead the overall series 7-6 (all regular season games) with the Raiders winning the most recent out — 36-33 in overtime — on Daniel Carlson’s 29-yard boot on Thanksgiving Day in 2021. Before that, the Cowboys won three-straight matchups from 2009 to 2017. And the Raiders won the previous three from 1998 to 2005.
